Yesterday the gadget blogs were out in force, covering every detail of Apple's latest iPod updates. (Dare I say it: the iPod Touch is as much "internet tablet" as "music player".)
Gadget blogs are another category where Weblogs Inc. (WIN) and Gawker take the top 2 slots. Engadget was co-founded by Peter Rojas (who remains Editorial Director). From the editor-in-chief on down, the site lists Ryan Block, Evan Blass, Thomas Ricker, Paul Miller, Chris Ziegler plus 23 more names. (Titles include: contributing editor, special correspondent, podcast producer, senior columnist, columnist, intern and copy editor.) Spinoffs include Engadget Mobile, Engadget HD plus sites in Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Spanish.
Gizmodo was also co-founded by Peter Rojas, who was later recruited away by Jason Calacanis. They have no shortage of editors (and a columnist and intern): Brian Lam, Noah Robischon, Wilson Rothman, Jason Chen, Charlie White, Mark Wilson, Matt Buchanan, Jesus Diaz, Addy Dugdale, Adam Frucci, Brendan I. Koerner, Ben Longo. They're not afraid to turn their snark inward: (source: Gizmodo FAQ)
A blog is just a fancy name for website written by someone really full of themselves.Next up is Crunch Gear from TechCrunch, a popular site that's becoming a blog network. Crunch Gear Editor-in-Chief John Biggs and Illustrator Bryce Durbin are joined by a cast of reporters: Joshua Goldman, Matt Hickey, Vincent Veneziani, Peter Suciu, Mike Kobrin, Seth Porges, Peter Ha, Nicholas Deleon, Blake Robinson, and Doug Aamoth.
TechEBlog is written by ... they don't say. Well, if that's good enough for them, I guess that's good enough for us.
Given the number of people involved, what separates these blogs from other tech media sites? Is there any room for solo bloggers here?
